Global stocks fall on North Korea, new Trump trade worries

Re-election financial burden

Re-elections are also held because of misdeeds of politicians such as fake degree, dual nationality. Why should starving people be made to pay for such misdeeds and why not the politicians responsible? Democracy in Pakistan so far is a hobby and luxury of the rich and a financial burden on the poor. Many elections have been held since the 50s but we never heard any politician getting poorer rather richer and the poor are never better off. Worthy Supreme Court and ECP may please like to take notice of the aforesaid injustice to the poor and consider a suitable law to recover cost of re-election from those found guilty.M.
